Chapter 328: The Big Deal
"Thank you Zhongcheng, thank you Zhongcheng." I want to kowtow to Wu Shilai again.
"Thank me." Wu Shilai pointed at Zhao Hao and said, "It was Director Zhao of Jiangnan Company who placed an order with you." ”
"Uh......" Don't look at the Jiangnan company in Suzhou, but Yang Tiju, the shipyard in Jinling, has not heard of it.
"Thank you Gongzi for appreciating the meal, the lower officials are grateful!" However, he still obediently expressed his gratitude to Zhao Hao.
"You're welcome, it's my way to thank you." Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Because next, you guys are busy." ”
"Hehe, we're afraid of being idle and not afraid of being busy." This mention is named Yang Fan, rubbing his hands and smiling: "Dare to ask Gongzi, how many pieces and how many materials do you want to order?" ”
"Four hundred, a thousand." Zhao Gongzi reported the number and specifications.
"Four, four hundred, one, a thousand?!" Yang Tiju's eyes widened and he stammered.
"You stutter?" Wu Shilai glared at him.
"No, no, the villain uses this way to express his inner surprise." Yang Fan hurriedly responded, still with a shocked face.
"You don't have to worry about anything else, just say if you can." Wu Shilai said in a deep voice.
"It can be made, it can be made, it can be made." Yang Fan nodded excitedly and said: "Our treasure shipyard is the place where big ships are built, and the bigger the ship, the greater our advantage." ”
"Oh, what's your advantage?" Zhao Gongzi asked with a smile.
"Hui Gongzi, our advantages are in all aspects." Yang Tiju boasted: "First of all, our treasure shipyard has a history of more than 200 years, and the warships of the Ming Dynasty came from our factory. So a ship of a thousand ingredients is nothing to us. ”
"Then, we have thirteen ponds, each of which can build eight ships at the same time, so if there are enough workers, we can build a hundred ships at the same time!"
In addition, there are 2,000 craftsmen who have been engaged in shipbuilding for generations. If necessary, they can recruit another 2,000 people from their homes. 4,000 craftsmen went into battle, and they could build 200 ships of 1,000 materials a year! Yang lifted his spit and flew sideways.
"Oh?" Wu Shilai looked at Yang Tiju in surprise, he thought that the treasure shipyard could build a maximum of 180 ships a year.
"Do you dare to make a military order?"
"This ......" Yang lifted the mountain like a duck pinched by the neck, and choked suddenly. The villain is talking about recruiting another 2,000 craftsmen. ”
"You just have to recruit, and our company will give you enough silver." Zhao Gongzi said lightly.
"That'...... The new craftsmen also have to be led by their masters. In this first year, one hundred and fifty ships should be fine. "Once the military order is about to be issued, Yang Tiju began to be cautious.
"One hundred and eighty." Wu Shilai said in a deep voice: "If you can't make it, don't do it." ”
"Hey, the villain can do it, he can do it." Yang lifted and wiped his sweat and gritted his teeth.
"How much does a ship cost?" Zhao Gongzi asked the price at this time.
"There are two kinds of prices for this ship, one is to contract labor and materials, and each ship with 1,000 materials gets 600 taels of silver." Yang Tiju replied cautiously:
"Other shipyards are at least fifty taels more expensive. Because our treasure shipyard has two hundred years of lacquer gardens, tung gardens and palm gardens in Zhongshan, planting tens of thousands of trees, these years of loss is very little, so the tung oil, palm cables for shipbuilding these auxiliary materials do not need to be purchased at all, can save a lot of money. ”
Zhao Hao naturally understood the price before he came. There are seven or eight shipyards that can build thousands of foreign ships in Daming, and the largest Qingjiang factory offers 1,000 taels to the outside world...... Of course, that's because people can't build boats, and if you don't give enough money, of course, you won't crowd out man-hours.
The Suzhou shipyard in Taicang and the Hangzhou official shipyard both quoted eight hundred taels.
Of course, this is a single ship quotation, if you order hundreds of ships, there will definitely be a discount. However, if you want to be as low as six hundred taels, I'm afraid it's impossible.
"What about the other one?" Zhao Hao asked quietly.
"The other is to only contract labor and not materials, so that each ship uses ...... Two hundred taels of silver. Yang Tiju gritted his teeth and said, "Of course, the wood you need has to be transported by your company." ”
"Hmm." Zhao Gongzi nodded noncommittally and asked, "Which way do you ship yards prefer?" ”
"This ...... Half and half of it. Yang Tiju said: "Of course, we hope to contract labor and materials, so that we can earn more." But 180 ships a year, the wood needed is too much, and the shipyard has too much pressure to prepare materials alone......"
"There are so many pine, cedar, and nan trees on Ma'anshan outside, isn't it enough to build 180 ships?" Wu Shilai said in disbelief: "That's the treasure ship that was prepared back then, and it has grown for more than a hundred decades, right?" ”
"Most of the capitals have been stolen...... Yang Tiju wiped his sweat and said: "You have to keep some of them, don't you prepare them for the imperial court?" ”
"Hmph." Wu Shilai was not easy to fool, and sneered: "I think most of them were sold by you!" ”
"Sometimes I really can't open the pot, and I will cut some emergency ......," Yang Fan whispered.
"The famous Longjiang coffin shop in Jinling, what does it have to do with you?" Wu Shilai asked again.
"Yes, the side business of the lifting division......" Yang Tiju couldn't wait to shrink into the crack in the ground.
"Okay, hundreds of years of sea ship material, bring me a coffin!" hated Wu Shilai and kicked him in the stomach.
"Zhongcheng is angry, the shipyard has not made any purchases, and thousands of craftsmen can't drink the northwest wind." Yang lifted his hands and crouched to the ground.
"Humph! If you are lucky, Zhao Gongzi is still waiting to build a ship, and you will be left guilty for meritorious service for the time being! "Wu Shilai actually didn't really want to deal with him, but just dealt with these lazy petty officials and officials, so that his virtue was not as good as fear.
"Thank you Zhongcheng for your kindness!" Yang Tiju was busy kowtowing like pounding garlic, and said to Zhao Hao: "Zhao Gongzi, don't worry, the villain will go all out to build your company's ship as quickly as possible!" ”
"Quality is more important than speed." Zhao Hao said lightly: "Someone will come to talk to you about the specific contract in two days, but I will give you another two hundred taels of warranty for each ship in addition to the ship price." ”
"Warranty?" Yang Tiju looked at Zhao Gongzi puzzled.
"But this money will not be given to you right away." Zhao Hao said in a deep voice: "But I will give you fifty taels every year, so if you want to get all the warranty money, at least give me a guarantee that there will be no problems for four years!" ”
According to the experience introduced to him by Elder Ma of the Sand Boat Gang, the quality problems of the sea vessels will be exposed one after another two years before they are launched.
As long as there are no problems in the first two years, there will be no more problems. For the sake of prudence, Zhao Gongzi added a two-year warranty period to the shipyard.
"Ah, that's ......" Yang Tiju was overjoyed, looking at Zhao Hao like a good wealth boy.
It's pie in the sky to build a boat with double the profits!
"Do you have faith?!" Wu Shilai asked with a glare.
"Yes, that's great!" Yang Tiju hurriedly nodded and said: "The foreign shading ship of our Longjiang factory is thick, tightly nailed, and strictly regulated, and can be used normally for thirty years. Even if it is used for sea transportation, fifteen years is absolutely no problem - so this warranty, the villain has decided! ”
"That's for the best." Zhao Gongzi bowed slightly with satisfaction, if it is built in fifteen years, the financial pressure is negligible.
ps. The first update of the three consecutive changes, I'm sorry everyone, I was almost blind when I checked the information of the sea ship today, and I can only write three chapters.
